Michael Bay takes 2 1/2 hours to bore me thoroughly. Ratner can get the job done in 90 minutes. {nm}

So, Pacific Rim is a mix of Transformers + Battleship? What a huge pile of crap! FabioParme Dec 13, 19:01

So, Pacific Rim is a mixture of Godzilla and Pan's Labyrinth? What a huge pile of joy! {nm} Moviesnob Dec 13, 19:04

That's fanboy talking. If they said in the trailer "directed by Michael Bay" everyone would be trashing it. {nm} FabioParme Dec 13, 19:14

If they said MBAY in the trailer, it would've looked different. {nm} Paul2k Dec 13, 19:15

Doubt it, because Pacific Rim LOOKS like a Michael Bay movie. FabioParme Dec 13, 19:19

your IM alone makes me think the opposite of your opinions on things. {nm} BSmurf Dec 13, 19:20

I think people trash Last Stand because it was directed by Brett Ratner and they think he did a poor job. {nm} Paul2k Dec 13, 19:21

That's prejudice all over it. Of course the director is key, but even visionaries can make crappy movies. FabioParme Dec 13, 19:40

To summarize: if I was 15 years old and still a virgin, then, maybe, I would be having goose bumps about Pacific Rim FabioParme Dec 13, 19:54

Nah, I'm talking solely about X-Men 3. I like the first 2 Rush Hour movies, for example. But X-Men 3 was just bad. RogerMore Dec 13, 20:01

It's like Michael Bay wants his legacy to be his Transformers movies FabioParme Dec 13, 20:08

Actually, he wants his legacy to be 'Pain And Gain' {nm} RazorHawk Dec 13, 20:13

I think people need to judge (trailers or movies) for what they look like, regardless of who is directing it. FabioParme Dec 13, 19:33

I think you are being reactionary. Its a trailer, designed to market the film to its audience. You should judge the film on its content, not Moviesnob Dec 13, 19:54

A trailer that shows me monsters coming from the center of the Earth and mankind building giant robots to fight them. Do I need more? FabioParme Dec 13, 20:04

you can share your opinion without being condescending. You can be excited for a movie without being a fanboy {nm} Moviesnob Dec 13, 20:26

I think you are saying it looks like transformers because it has giant robots, but you can take a minute a learn where the film's influences Moviesnob Dec 13, 20:29

simplify much?...this wasn't some SyFy channel movie like Mega-Octopus or whatever {nm} tealfan Dec 13, 20:58

I did and it looks fantastic...all the money is on the screen...and that's just the trailer! {nm} tealfan Dec 13, 20:57

Also, I don't think PACRM's trailer looked MBAY-ish, but that's just my opinion. Didn't have enough slowmotion cleavage. ;) {nm} Paul2k Dec 13, 19:26

I'll never understand this argument. The movie wouldn't EXIST if it didn't have Del Toro's name on it. And that was a kick-**** teaser. {nm} gopher123 Dec 14, 04:56

That's a big statement to make from a few minutes of footage... {nm} slappydavid Dec 13, 19:07

I saw about 10 new trailers these past few days and Pacific Rim was the worst. FabioParme Dec 13, 19:12

This is why we don't wake up the Fabio... he gets cranky if you wake him up before spring. {nm} RazorHawk Dec 13, 20:18

I agree the trailer looked like Transformers + Battleship - if that excites you go for it. To those of us that don't care for that stuff we JDolphin Dec 13, 20:27

I have to say I'm in agreement. The 1st trailer did nothing for me. I was so pumped for this and now meh. However, I do believe they lobogotti Dec 14, 07:14
